Re: New member - What else can I do
Welcome! I too have a dog with chronic Pancreatitis, malabsorption and SID. She is still getting over Pancreatitis from June. She is still on a low fat diet and does better on low fat for long term. She is a 7 year old Great Dane who has had GI issues since I got her at 9 weeks of age. She has been ...

Re: New, sorting it out, curious about CBD oil
Hi and welcome, I would keep with the current enzyme regimen and not switch to raw pancreas. Raw pancreas is difficult to dose but either way she should be stable before switching anything up. I like the idea adding a little canned food in to help mask the smell of the enzymes and that seems to be w...

Re: Zoe, spitting up clear liquid
Hi Sonja, Sounds like things are getting under control. For the yellow mucous poops that happen occasionally, I would just watch that for decreasing or increasing frequency. Is your pup on a probiotic? This might be something to consider to stave off SID. If increasing frequency, then would certainl...

Re: Help with Tylan, what to mix it with?
I just bought Tylan online at Allivet. They seem to have some of the best prices. I am lucky that my Dane eats her meal with the Tylan powder 3/8 tsp which is a lot BUT she gets The Honest Kitchen/Grandma Lucy's freeze dried mixed with water so, I think that probably helps. Have you tried a small am...

Re: 9-4-18 Taste of the Wild Food alert!
The Clean Label Project did some research looking into heavy metals contamination in dog food in 2017. They posted the information in the Spring of 2017. There are other class action lawsuits, the other ones that come to mind is Rachel Ray and Orejin. I contacted Earthborn since my dogs are on Ocean...

Re: I need help stabilizing max!!
For enzyme Diane powder, is he on 6x or 8x? For 6x, it is 1 tsp per cup of food.. I agree with Madelon. Go back to the basics. I would not recommend free feeding but will see what other suggest. Free feeding is just too hard to keep track of.... When my Dane ate too much in one meal, she had soft st...

Re: Confused
Hi Christy, Yes. My Dane has had normal TLI several times tested with 12+ hour fast but she cannot be off enzymes. She does however, also have low folate (Olesia mentioned) but we supplement that now so, those values are normal. I have also read that the Pancreas is not the only source of enzymes bu...

Re: Banner 10 weeks Brittany Spaniel
I have had dogs for over 45 years. Each has it's own "thing" and some don't have anything until they are a little older. My Great Dane came from a rescue group at 9 weeks of age. She never had normal stools and was always hungry. Well, it took some time but finally got it figured out. She ...

Re: Oat or Oatmeal is good for EPI Dogs?
In the past, when my Dane was having digestive trouble, I used to give her boiled chicken breast and white rice. Well, she would pick out the chicken and leave the rice. Also, one of my labs with chronic colitis would also get boiled chicken but I gave him very well/over cooked minute oatmeal to inc...
